Chapter 17: The Vampire Tree
I walked briskly to the left side of the chamber and looked at it for a long time, and the whole wall was tightly closed, and I couldn't see anything different in the slightest.
"Why?" Wang Chuyi asked.
"Where's the tomb door when we just came in? Gone!? "I touched the wall inch by inch with my hand, and judging by the touch of my fingers, the whole wall was flat, and there was no sign of excavation.
When I asked this, Wang Chuyi was also stunned, walked over to take a look, and said, "Don't be curious, even if you find the tomb door, are you still going to go out from here again?" ”
As soon as I thought of the string of vibrating stone statues outside, I got goosebumps: "That's not it, that's not, let's see how the white jade tomb door opens." ”
Speaking of which, Wang Chuyi and I came to this jade gate, the entire jade gate is about three meters high, and a huge unicorn is carved on it, which looks very mighty.
Just when Wang Chuyi and I were still studying how to open the door of the white jade tomb, we heard a snapping sound from the top of the tomb, the sound was very crisp and rhythmic, first two popping sounds with relatively large intervals, followed by a rapid snapping sound, this sound was like a child playing with glass marbles on the floor at home.
Wang Chuyi and I looked up at the same time, and did not find anything unusual at the top of the tomb, it stands to reason that the brick structure of this tomb must be more than 50 centimeters thick, and such a clear sound can be heard from above, there must be greater movement above, and there should be space on the top of this tomb.
We didn't dare to delay any more time, and hurriedly looked for the location of the mechanism of the white jade gate, but we didn't find it after looking for a long time, I thought to myself that something was wrong, the seventh master didn't have much time to open the tomb door here, and it stands to reason that this organ should not be hidden very hidden.
I looked up at the unicorn relief on the jade door, and when I saw the position of the unicorn's eyes, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, could this mechanism be in the eyes of this unicorn?
Thinking of this, I will look at the eyes of this unicorn again, about more than two meters high in this tomb door, if I want to touch, then I have to jump up, thinking of the seventh master and their disappearance for no reason, I am afraid that once this organ is pressed, something unexpected will happen, save and hurriedly beckoned Wang Chuyi to come over, and then jumped suddenly, and slapped the eyes of the unicorn with his right hand, only to feel that the originally raised unicorn eyes were slapped down by me, just between the lightning and flint, before my body fell, the white jade tomb door rotated quickly for a week, I only felt that it was dark in front of me, and Wang Chuyi and I were brought into another tomb at the same time.
After about five or six seconds, my eyes adjusted to the environment here, and found that it was a huge antechamber, with more than a dozen huge stone pillars on both sides, and a square depression area in the middle, and in the middle of this area, there was also a stone pillar, about five or six meters in diameter.
I shone it with a flashlight, and found that the stone pillars on both sides were connected to a large square stone pillar, and the whole thing looked like a huge arch.
I was just about to lift my feet and walk forward, when I felt a sticky patch under my feet, and when I looked down, it was the dark green liquid that stuck to my feet, and I felt uncomfortable.
"What the hell is this!" With every foot I lifted, I could pull up a string of dark green liquid, like a silk taro in a restaurant, but now I was more like that taro.
I walked forward about five or six meters, I felt something hard under my feet, it was quite slippery to step on, I bent down, took out the sapper shovel in my backpack, pushed away the viscous liquid on the ground, and looked closely, it turned out to be a tree root the thickness of a child's arm!
"How can there be roots here? Still so thick? I asked curiously, looking at the root of this tree, it should be the end of the whole tree, even so, it is the thickness of a child's arm, this tree will definitely not be small.
I raised the flashlight and shone it forward, at the end of the light source, I could vaguely see the pillar erected in the square depression, and then think of the roots of the tree on the ground, I was shocked, it should be a class tree! And it's huge.
So we slowed down and got closer a little bit, and I wondered in my heart, how could there be such a big tree here on this kind of Gobi Desert, where the wind and sand and gravel are all over the ground, and there are no conditions for plants to grow.
Soon, Wang Chuyi and I came to the edge of this square depression, I picked up the flashlight and shone it down, I couldn't help but gasp, there is a layer of dark green liquid under the depression, the strong light of the flashlight can be seen through this liquid, this liquid is full of corpses! Layer by layer, I don't know how deep it was, and the corpse was surrounded by arm-thick roots.
Probably because of the dark green liquid that cut off the air, most of these corpses were relatively well preserved, and the one closest to me, lying on his back, with his mouth wide open, had a painful facial expression, and many tiny roots protruding from his eye sockets and mouth, which looked terrifying.
I raised the flashlight and took a picture of it again, and found that this sunken square pit was full of such corpses, and the position of the eyes and mouth was pierced by tree roots, and the whole pit was full of this kind of roots, and I suddenly remembered that when I was working in the geological team, I had seen a side of the exploration record, which described a kind of tree that grew in the mountains of northern Afghanistan, called the vampire tree, the tree was about 2 meters high, the trunk was 10 centimeters thick, and it was covered with particles that grew upward climbing, and anyone who accidentally touched its leaves would be firmly entangled. The blood was sucked out, and then many animal carcasses appeared around the tree, and branches protruded from the eyes and mouths of these animals, and the mystery of this strange tree is still unexplained.
I think the current situation is that I have encountered this kind of vampire tree, but now this vampire tree in front of me is too huge, and why is it here?
Thinking of this, I grabbed Wang Chuyi, who was about to walk forward, "This is a vampire tree, you don't want to die!" Then I gave her a brief introduction to the vampire tree.
After listening to it, Wang Chuyi couldn't help but shudder, "This tree is so scary, but look over there, shine a flashlight!" ”
I shone a flashlight in the direction she pointed, and found that there was some reflection under this layer of green liquid, and when I looked closely, it was nothing else, it was an octagonal diamond-shaped object, I couldn't see what it was, but judging from the reflected light, it should be a good thing.
"That's a treasure for sure, why don't we go over and get it." I lifted my foot and wanted to go over and take a look, after all, the baby that was close at hand, it was a pity to miss it like this.
But before I could take the first step, I was grabbed by Wang Chuyi, and then pointed to a bush of branches behind the baby, and said, "I think that person thinks the same way!" ”
Hearing her say this, I was so frightened that I shuddered, is there anyone in this ancient tomb? So I turned on the flashlight and shone it in the direction of the branches, and I couldn't help but exclaim "Ah......!" ”
